Porto da Minha Infancia / Porto of My Childhood (2001) DVD9

This pseudo-documentary reveals a scrapbook love-poem to Oliveira's hometown in Portugal. The city of his birth, Oporto had already inspired his first film, 'Douro, faina fluvial' in 1931, and the one that marked his return behind the camera in 1956, 'O pintor e a cidade'. Scrabbling together old films, blurry photos, recreated period footage, poems and music, Oliveira shares his own memories of the way things used to be.
